The West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Administration has suspended the club license for Gary's Place in Huntington following a shooting there this morning.

According to the ABCA, the license is suspended for 10 days and is in effect immediately. The suspension is for public safety while the investigation into the shooting takes place.

UPDATE:

The search is on for the person who opened fire inside of a popular bar in Huntington, killing one man and sending chills throughout the neighborhood.

Neighbors said they thought they heard firecrackers going off near Gary's Place in Huntington, but they were wrong.

Police said there was mass chaos right after the shooting. They said everyone ran outside into the street just after 1:30 a.m. Friday.

When detectives went inside of the bar, they found a man who'd been shot multiple times.

The victim is 23-year-old Deangelo Erquhart. He died at the hospital.

Detectives said there was some sort of fight inside of the bar before Erquhart was shot.

Jeanie Tarpley lives right down the road from Gary's Place, and said she's seen an increase in violence there over the past few months.

"The last time they shot out car windows and van windows, one van that was sitting here at the bar," she said.

Despite the recent shootings, she doesn't blame the bar or people who go here.

"It's a sign of the times. It's not just here, it's not the property owners. They are really nice people. It's just everywhere," she said.

Tarpley said she's going to push to get a new Neighborhood Watch Program started. She hopes it will curb these late night shootings that are destroying people's lives.

" I look out for the community and look our for our neighbors and family and friends," she said.

Police said they have also seen an increase in violence in this area over the past six months. They are working with the Alcohol Beverage Control Administration to see if they can get the bar shut down or fined.
